"There are people who consider watches as accessories. I don't know the reasons. For me watches are essentials in one's life," Abhishek said.

The 'Bol Bachchan' actor said, "I wear international brands. And I wear my watch 24 hours a day." Asked if he has a fetish for watches, and how many he has, Abhishek replied with a grin, "I have lost count of. But I like collecting watches."

Abhishek, who shares screen space with SRK in Happy New Year after Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna in 2006, said that there was no immediate word of him turning up in a Bengali film project but he would always look forward to work in one.
